Question

Batu ate 10 of Lizzie's dog treats. That was of all of them. How many dog treats were initially in the box ?

Answer 1

The cost of the gift is $38.75

Here, we want to get the cost of the gift

From the question, we are told that the amount the aunty gave is 2/5 of the cost

Since we do not know the amount of the gift, let us call it $x

Mathematically;

`\begin{gathered} (2)/(5)*\text{ x = 15.50} \\ \\ 2*\text{ x = 5}*15.5 \\ x\text{ = }(5*15.5)/(2) \\ x\text{ = \$38.75} \end{gathered}`
